Reports reaching TUKO.co.ke indicate that CORD leader Raila Odinga will jet out of the country on Friday, September 16 for the same retreat expected to choose the best candidate to face Jubilee Party's President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017.

The issue of who will be CORD's flag bearer has been the main contention between the three co-principals Raila, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula.

The retreat will also attempt to fundraise after a source revealed to TUKO.co.ke that the party is broke and main financiers were now burnt-out with sponsoring CORD activities which have not yielded positive results.

The team will also come with a way out if 2017 can't happen,revealed the source adding that Raila has been pleading with top financiers not to abandon the party.
